Let's face it, guys are hardwired to want one thing in a mate: LOOKS.And this exchange...
And women are hardwired to want one thing too: STATUS.
Both sexes of the human race suck. All people suck! "Misfortune comes from having a body" as Lao Tzu said. Not that it matters anyway, cause we're all dying at the rate of one second per second, and in the end it's all for nothing because these tremendous big brains full of dreams and wishes become worm food, and we are released from selfhood into oblivion. --"Tucker"
Martian Anthropologist:
Men are scum. It's in the genes. It may be a lot harder for a man to find a girlfriend than it is for a woman to find herself a boyfriend, but it's also a lot harder for a woman to find a *good* boyfriend than it is for a man to find a good girlfriend. The only hope a woman has is finding a man who knows enough about evolutionary psychology to despise his own genetic programming.
David.:
*Sigh.* You know why [many] men are scum, Martian Anthropologist? Because [many] women, despite all their whinging and griping about how they want a caring, honest and loyal guy, tend to go for the bright plumage and aggressive display--leaving Mister S.N.A.G. [Sensitive New Age Guy] to sit at home on a Friday night watching Law & Order: SVU. After enough repeat episodes, Mr. S.N.A.G. finally ups and decides there's no percentage in it, and starts acting like all the jerks who're actually getting some.
Bitter, me? No, not really. Why do you ask?
lurkereh?:
And I agree, David, men are told that being sweet and nice is the way to go and for some reason women keep going for the guy who is a jerk. I think it is the challange, just like most men try to end up with women who are model material.
Thoughts?
Truer words, never written.

If that's the case...both my wife and I are...

I agree with this. I think up to a certain age, and some much longer, women *do* go for the jerk.
"The only hope a woman has is finding a man who knows enough about evolutionary psychology to despise his own genetic programming."
Crap.
My two cents worth:
Ladies love outlaws. Particularly rich outlaws. If you want to run a woman off, tell her you love her and then act like you love her. Buy her things. Spend time with her. Talk to her. Think about her needs. WHAMMO! The female suspicion gene kicks in. You must not be a real man. Real men treat women like pieces of meat. Run. Run. Run.
